CHASE Essentials

Demystify the processes of research funding, explore how research fits within the funding environment and examine types of funding available

Wednesday 16 February | 1400-1600Workshop Audience:Doctoral students and early career researchers of all stages. The workshop will be particularly relevant to researchers who are considering applying for research funding in the future.Outline:The research funding environment in the UK can, at first, appear quite complex and may be a little daunting if you have not previously applied for funding. In this interactive workshop we will aim to de-mystify the policies and processes of research funding, exploring how doctoral research fits within the funding environment and examining the types of funding that might be available to you during and beyond your doctoral studies. We will introduce the ways in which funding applications are assessed by funders and the important factors to consider before developing a funding proposal. We will explore when, where and how you might start to seek funding for your research, and what support is available for those making applications.Learning Outcomes:By the end of this workshop, participants will have:<ul><li>awareness of the key funders of research in the UK</li><li>an appreciation of the role of policy, peer review and assessment in research funding</li><li>knowledge of the tools and routes to identify suitable funding opportunities</li><li>an awareness of the different types of funding available for researchers (e.g. fellowships, grants, networking funding, travel funding etc)</li><li>identified the key questions they need to consider before making an application for funding</li><li>knowledge of where to seek further information and support for making applications</li></ul>Facilitator:Dr Natalie James is an independent professional development coach and trainer specialised in supporting researchers and academics in all aspects of their professional development.
